The database can be searched using partial text, so a search for TOM will
return all records containing TOM. It is also possible to narrow the search down
by choosing the field you wish to search (Default is all fields). This can be
achieved by using the drop down box to the right of the search entry field.

You can then view the record by clicking View (Extreme right of each returned
record). Once in View mode you can then use the Next Record & Previous Record
links underneath the WW1 N.Z.E.F Honours Database heading.

Each award is entered as a separate database entry to allow specific
information to be recorded. This means that multiple records exist for those men
and women who were awarded more than once.

Uploading information to the Database

If you have information you would like to contribute to the database, you can
upload it by first viewing a record (It does not have to be the record you wish
to contribute to) and clicking the blue link (above the displayed record). This
will take you to the Upload form where you can choose to upload a picture or
text.
